Ind. Law - David J. Allen, 74, Attorney and Counselor to Governors, dies
When I first met Dave Allen, he was counsel to Governor Roger D. Branigin, and seemed very old and wise, although it turns out he was about 30 at the time. He had just written a handbook, titled "New Governor in Indiana: The Challenges of Executive Power." In the preface, Dave describes it as "a practical handbook designed to serve as a ready reference for a new Governor and his staff." I just pulled out my copy, I'd love to post it online, but it is copyrighted by Indiana University. Through the years, Dave remained a wise counselor to those he served, governors and political leaders. The Indianapolis Star obituary is available here.
